ICAO 10062: 2022 [paper]

Provides information and guidance to States on procedures, practices and techniques that may be used when investigating cabin safety aspects of an occurrence. It also contains guidance for States to investigate specific types of occurrences, such as evacuations, and provides recommended qualifications and competencies for cabin investigators, thereby allowing the appropriate personnel to carry out the necessary functions during an investigation. In addition, guidance for States and operators is provided when investigating incidents, such as mandatory reported events or events that do not require notification to the State of the Operator but may be a source of lessons learned.

This manual aligns its content with Amendment 5 to the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Training (PANS-TRG, Doc 9868), which contains the overarching provisions and principles for competency-based training and assessment, new definitions, new provisions for cabin investigator training and minor updates to existing provisions. It also contains guidance on examining information on brace positions to better understand injuries sustained during an accident. A new chapter provides guidelines for the reporting of cabin safety aspects in accidents and incidents, including the development of a survival factors group factual report and the survival factors portion of a final report of an accident.
